About the role
- As the Tech Director of AI Products, you will be the founding technical leader of our team - a hands-on, full-stack player-coach who sets the architecture and ships production code.
- You will work within a small, senior team - alongside an AI Engineer and a Senior PM - with an explicit mandate to ship reusable products rather than bespoke client work.
- This is an engineer-first role requiring the judgment of an architect and the instincts of a founder.
Responsibilities
- Agent-Driven Development: Lead how AIP builds with agents. Set the standards, patterns, and tooling that ensure agent-generated code is production-quality.
- Engineering Leadership: Lead the technical build of our first product bets. Set patterns, mentor the team, and raise the bar.
- Talent: Hire, develop, and retain a high-bar engineering team.
- Pitch Support: Act as the authoritative technical voice in the room during high-stakes pitches.
- Roadmap & Bet Selection: Partner with Paul and Nick to evaluate productization opportunities and decide what scales versus what retires.
- R/GA is a globally renowned design and innovation network that has been reinventing industry standards for over four decades.
- Build the technical foundation for AI productization at R/GA - one of the world's most respected creative innovation networks.
Requirements
- 10+ years of software engineering experience, with 3+ years leading AI-powered products in production.
- You are comfortable picking up tickets across the stack.
- Expertise in agent-driven development.
- Founding-team or early-engineering-leader experience at a startup, studio, or product organization.
- Experience designing platform/SDK abstractions that other engineers happily adopt.
- Full-stack engineering capability: strong in at least three of the following - modern frontend (React/TypeScript), backend (Python/Node/Go), AI/ML systems and pipelines, or infrastructure. You are comfortable picking up tickets across the stack.
- Expertise in agent-driven development. You know when to drive an agent and when to write code yourself, as well as how to review and harden agent output before it ships.
- Deep fluency in generative AI: LLMs, agent frameworks, retrieval architectures, evaluation methods, and deployment patterns.
- A proven track record of shipping reusable software products (not just custom client builds).
- Comfortable presenting to the C-suite and senior client technologists while keeping technical credibility intact.
- A strong bias for shipping. A tight v0 in two weeks beats a perfect roadmap in two months.
- Bonus Points for
- Prior experience at an agency, studio, or consulting firm - you understand pitch-driven rhythms.
- Open-source contributions or published technical writing on AI systems, agent design, or generative interfaces.
- A background in design tooling, brand systems, content infrastructure, or generative interfaces.
